I have chronic problems with my sacroiliac. It feels a lot like sciatica, and was initially misdiagnosed as bursitis. If left untreated it is debilitating....
I tip over quite a bit, or walk into door frames. The fog or being dizzy doesn't coincide with my tipping incidents. I can be feeling "fine" and just suddenly tip over, albeit being dizzy or foggy...
*Bump* I've had success on this one. I have a lot of difficulties eating without it. The only side effects for me: nausea (if taken without food), and constipation (without adequate fluids/fiber)....
It's impossible for me to put everything into a "short" paragraph, as I have just way too much going on. And I want to give you a clear snapshot of what my life is really like... It's hard to tell...
I have to rush out the door right away, so I can't do the research for you at the moment (I'll try later). There is a drug out there specifically for migraines... at the first sign of a headache you...
For me it's hard to say. Looking back, I've probably had it for years, at least to a lesser degree. A lot of the symptoms I have now I have had for at least a decade. I just never complained about...
Thanks Alcie. My take on the video wasn't that they were blaming mint for FM, but that FM patients tend to have chemical sensitivities which includes the chemical found in a lot of plants, such as...

It sounded promising until I read this: "The main concern is possible liver toxicity and rare cardiac effects related to its mechanism of action in patients predisposed to cardiac disease." The whole...
Gel packs! I have three. Mostly to ice my SI, but they also work great in the microwave to give yourself some heat. They're reusable, and perfectly portable. I got mine at Wal-Mart for about $3 each....
Hi Debbie! I didn't forget you, you posted while I was compiling my ramble :p...
Sorry about the M word ;) Sometimes I forget that just because it's medically legal in Canada, it's not necessarily going to be accepted elsewhere. How about Savitex? It's THC and CBD in a bottle....
I always seem to be sweating since the RH started. Heat drives me mental and gives me a migraine… I used to LOVE the heat. The a/c can bring me to tears. Every joint aches as if I had arthritis. But...
Does anyone get swollen lymph nodes? My GP always says it's probably just a low grade infection "somewhere", but now I'm wondering if others with FM have this issue?...
Hello Tara and Pup! I haven't gone to a rheumy doc. I've lost faith in specialists. Most of them seem to be too busy to deal with "minor" complaints, and the so-called pain specialists couldn't...
Thx for the welcome, Choco. I'm sure we'll chat soon enough!...
I've just recently been diagnosed with FM, SIJD, and gluten intolerance. I've done a ton of research into all three, but of course the medical community knows very little about any of them. That's...
I'm stuck in the same boat. Sometimes even the drugs don't work, they just make me dizzy and sick instead. Sorry I couldn't be of any help, I just wanted to commiserate....
